Menu Monday: What’s The Plan?

Last week I shared the way I plan our menus for the week, truly the laziest way in the world to plan a menu. This week I thought I would share the list of favorites my family came up with for the colder months and they post my menu for the week.

As you can see, it’s a pretty big list and pretty family friendly as well. I do include veggies and often a big salad with every meal as well so those things must also be on the grocery list every week.

Not everyone loves everything on the list, for example Erin hates kielbasa so I would only make that on a day she isn’t home for dinner. This list also does not mean I don’t branch out and try something new once in a while, I have a recipe box on Allrecipes.com and I like to try new things when I have the opportunity, which at this time of year is generally only on Sundays. This list helps me when I am too busy to think much and am limited in the time I can take to prepare.

Now my menu plan for this week is going to be a little weird because we are leaving for vacation on Wednesday. However, we are staying with my dad and I will probably be cooking some and we are attending a family wedding and some events so there is going to be a lot of food involved so some planning involved no matter what, so here goes:

Breakfast: Cinnamon toastLunch and Dinner will be at the house my cousins are renting and we are all cooking. It should be a lot of fun.

SundayNot too sure of the plan for Sunday yet.

And that’s the big plan. I’m sorry to start on such a wierd week but it’s better to just start than not. I’m hoping to keep this feature going until Thanksgiving and then I have another plan for Mondays. In the meantime lets take advantage of the time to share and encourage each other!
